Changing the booting logo and splash screen in imx6 SoloX

gokhansahin — Fri, 21 Jul 2017 09:19:22 GMT

I'm developing an application in Qt on imx6Solox. I created the image with Wayland and its kernel version is 4.15.2.1.0. I'm wondering how to change the Nxp logo while is shown the system is booting. Also, can I upload a video in splash screen? If yes, how? Finally, I want to make my own distro or OS for imx, how can I make this? Could you suggest me a book or an article to make these?

pls refer to the enclosed file, focus on the chapter 5.4 Splash screen support of uboot file

for how to customised your own, pls refer to the chapter 7 Customization of yocto user guide.

thank you for your answer. for a splash, it will help me. However, for customizing your own distro, the information isn't enough in the documentation.

Hi KK d ,

Well, your logo is white background (that means you add your own logo image or you removed the logo image), anyway you need to do the following below steps.

Change The Boot Logo.

1. convert any *.* format image to *.png format

2. convert *.png format image to pnm or ppm format( you need to check which format is there in your source code),

3. copy the *.ppm image file to where your original source image is there and replace the name with original one.

4. Compile the your uImage or zImage thats it,

For Changing the the Splash Screen.

you need to follow the below steps.

1. convert any *.* format image to *.png format

2. convert the *.png format to *.h format file and copy this file to original source code,

3. bitbake "your-image-name" thats it. New image is created copy and run the image.

i hope this info is help full to you,

Best Regards,

Nandish S.G

Hi Bhargavi K,

Step1:

First you need to change the image format from ( * = your image name)

a) *.png to *.pnm

b) *.pnm to *ppm

Step2:

Replace the your converted *.ppm file with original *.ppm file in .../git/driver/video/logo/*.ppm

Step3:

Recompile your zImage or uImage or Image (The one which Image you are using for your board). by using your Cross Compiler, Now Task is done and re-flash the image to your SD-card,

I hope i am clear with this, after done this task if not please let me know ,

Best Regards,

Nandish SG

Converted .png to .pnm and .pnm to .ppm

-->pnmquant 224 linuxlogo.pnm > linuxlogo224.pnm

-->pnmtoplainpnm linuxlogo224.pnm > linuxlogo224.ppm

step-2.

Later moved the linuxlogo224.ppm file to build/tmp/work/wandboard_quad-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-wandboard/3.10.17-r0/git/drivers/video/logo replaced it as logo_linux_clut224.ppm
